Windows on line

rdy4trvl | Posted in General Discussion on January 6, 2024 09:16pm

Has anyone tried ordering custom windows online? I know most manufacturers force buyers through local distributors but there seem to be a few exceptions or at least a few distributors willing to ship regionally to multiple states (not the entire USA).

    Nope.

    I like the option of supporting local business and the opportunity to strangle a supplier if treated poorly.

    Also,imagine one day needing a couple screws, nuts, and washers and having to do what you propose.

      Your post is a worthless example of dropping a spam link into a discussion.
      If you are real, you suck.
      If you aren’t, intelligence is more than a bunch of words put on line.

      And you suck also.
